Why New Vaccines for the Control of Ectoparasite Vectors Have Not Been Registered and Commercialized? [PDF]
Vaccines, 2019 The prevention and control of vector-borne diseases is a priority for improving global health. Despite recent advances in the characterization of ectoparasite-host-pathogen molecular interactions, vaccines are not available for most ectoparasites and ...

Trophic structure in a seabird host-parasite food web: insights from stable isotope analyses. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Ecological studies on food webs rarely include parasites, partly due to the complexity and dimensionality of host-parasite interaction networks. Multiple co-occurring parasites can show different feeding strategies and thus lead to complex and cryptic ...

Estimating pathogen‐spillover risk using host–ectoparasite interactions
Ecology and EvolutionPathogen spillover corresponds to the transmission of a pathogen or parasite from an original host species to a novel host species, preluding disease emergence.

Epidemiology and Haematological Alterations of Sheep Ked (Melophagus ovinus) Infestation and Farmers' Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices in Northwest Ethiopia [PDF]
Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 6, November 2026.This study reveals an 11.6% prevalence of sheep ked (Melophagus ovinus) in South Gondar Zone, Northwest, Ethiopia, with significant associations to sex, body condition, season, and agro ecology. Infested sheep showed significantly lower packed cell volume (PCV), indicating anaemia.

Ectoparasitic infestations [PDF]
Current Infectious Disease Reports, 2005 Ectoparasitic infestations are highly prevalent in resource-poor populations throughout the world and are associated with considerable morbidity. Reliable data on the epidemiology, immunology, and therapy of ectoparasitic infestations and on the biology of the parasites remain scarce. The control of parasitic skin diseases, such as scabies, pediculosis,
